    Distance Learning for students at WDW

    My kids did 2 days of synchronous learning, mid-December at CSR with no issues. Internet for us was fine, but the resort appeared to be at very low capacity, so that may have improved the internet experience.

    I need Southwest Rapid Rewards Help on Booking upcoming flights - Please help me connect the pieces of the puzzle!

    If you have not purchased yet, I would purchase one way tickets. Use DH’s points to purchase tickets for all 3 of you for the flight home, you’d pay the ~ $6 each ticket. If points/seat remains the same today, his points can cover all of you. Then I would use your points to buy one ticket to...

    Marathon Weekend 2020

    So wishing that it would make sense to try again for Dopey, but we have already planned a family trip the week before Marathon weekend. So far, I ran Dopey the year the half was cancelled, so it doesn’t feel “official “ as I was not able to run the half around the resort because the in room...

    Park Days Before or After Run

    I take the same approach. I just did all three races for Princess weekend and we hit the parks every day. Our plans revolved more around our dining and fast passes than my running. This is not for everyone, it all depends on your mindset for a Disney race and your overall fitness level and...

    2019 Princess Half Marathon Weekend

    I have been running indoors to get used to sweating on my runs. Weather here near Chicago has been a mix of rain, snow and ice for the past few weeks. I worry about the sudden shift to warmer temps and more humid air.

    2019 Princess Half Marathon Weekend

    I am signed up for all three. I just couldn’t resist, especially since I had to sit out of the half and full in 2018 when I registered for Dopey. I had horrible plantar fasciitis, I am finally feeling good again and getting back to where I was pre-injury. My daughter will run the 5k with me...

    Staying Offsite for a Disney World Run Event?

    Hilton Bonnet Creek definitely did have shuttles last year, but only for the half and the full. They do not do it for all of the other race weekends. I stayed onsite for the 5 and 10K and checked in to the Hilton on the Friday before the half (that was canceled) and full. They had a nice...

    Chicago Marathon 2018 (Oct 7th) DIS Meet Race!

    Yes, for the legacy spot you have to be registered and complete the Shamrock Shuffle in 2018 too. A couple of my running groups go every year, so we end up with a load of crazies at the Shuffle (I think we were close to 50 participants last year!)

    Chicago Marathon 2018 (Oct 7th) DIS Meet Race!

    I am in for Chicago. My sister signed up for the lottery and it will be her first marathon. I got a confirmed Shamrock Shuffle legacy spot and plan to run it with her if she gets in!

    Marathon Weekend 2018

    In went to the expo from CBR this year, very easy. Printing your waiver before you arrive will save time. The only lines I encountered were to enter the merchandise area, and for checkout at the official Disney merchandise areas. However, they were not really that bad. Packet pick-up...

    Budget MCO is it as bad as reviews say Vs Dollar

    I have used Budget for years in many cities, never had to wait more than a few minutes, including at MCO. I just go to the garage, show my license and CC and I am on my way. I have always had great rates and minimal wait times with Budget, but as others mentioned, joining Fastbreak may be...

    Marathon Weekend 2018

    Happy you are feeling better, Dis5150. I am having issues with plantar fasciitis and it has really been difficult the past few weeks. Not worried about Dopey, but I am registered for the Disnayland half this September to get my coast to coast and I am concerned that it may not be pretty...

    Marathon Weekend 2018

    I have the Nathan hydro pack too, and love it. Picked it up in 2010 for my first marathon and have used it ever since. Easy to clean, just turn it inside-out. I throw the pack in the washing machine and hang it to dry. I do recommend going with either Nathan or Camelbak, and get one made...
